​So, here's the cover for your delight and delectation, and now please tell me:

​What do you think?

Is this cover making you want to rip this book off the shelves at Amazon and post it to 500 of your best friends, or not?

Do you like it?

Do you think it's appropriate for the book? (I'm trying to be sneaky, and to package Emunaroma-style Torah ideas to look lke a Mills&Boon type romance. How devious of me! Mwoohaha.)

I would be thrilled and very grateful if you could please leave your CONSTRUCTIVE feedback, in the comments section, to let me know what you think.

Also, if there are any 'Emunaroma' fans out there who'd like to leave me a 'blurb' that I could use when I get around to doing a bit of book marketing for this, I'd also appreciate that very much too.

Again, please write something in the comments section. If I use your blurb, I will send you a free copy of the book when it comes out (so please use an email address that you check, to post your comment).

At first it took me by surprise being that the cover doesn't define you really, but then reality kicked in and looking at it from the eyes of Am Yisroel and where we are holding in year 2017 this is absolutely perfect!!

The cover is a bit provocative... it makes me think there's a secret life behind this Jewish woman, that is street wise... *:-) sorry for the bluntness... but... coming from THIS side of the tracks, gentile world, this is what it makes me think of...

Your idea of putting Torah Truths into this book is a great idea... Maybe there's another picture you might have? Your ideas are so great and your writings are even better... this is my personal opinion.

Dear Rivka, Your title is terrific; I don't like the cover and I think it's not good to start off being devious. Believe in yourself! Let the cover portray the truth and you'll see it's what people need and want. kind regards, elise

Agree with Angela. I don't th ink that illustration looks like a Jewish woman generally speaking. It looks like a young girl who's got herself pregnant and doesn't know who the father is ! Do you even need a picture of a woman's face? Maybe better if the reader imagines what the person looks like for themselves? Just my thoughts.

I guess it depends on who your target audience is for the book. When I saw the picture, I thought romance novel without a lot of depth. But your writing is so much more that that. I love reading your blog and listening to your short podcasts. Your words soar and lift my spirit! Shouldn't the picture be a window on the inspiration within the pages?
